OneManga.com is being shut down at the end of the month by the site owner due to the decision of the major manga publishers to no longer allow scantilations. Does anyone know of any other sites with a large library of main stream manga scantilations?

According to this post on their forum 1000manga is being shut down as well.

Bound to happen, fun while it lasted (edited to add: it also sucks bad!) but it just doesn't seem like the best move they could do though. (I refer to the companies, not onemanga who don't have that many options)

Wanted to post this when I read it this morning, but didn't feel like looking up my password while at work.

So disappointed! The only lucky break is that I've read MOST of the series I wanted to completion. I'm really disappointed I'll miss the end of Mirai Nikki, have to wait several months to a year to get the US manga caught up in Negima, and I was looking forward to Nononono getting back to the main storyline soon.

Alas, all good (free) things must end (or get more expensive). Was bound to happen at some point, but it doesn't make it suck any less.

R.I.P OneMangaOnemanga was the website that got me hooked on most of the manga and anime series I follow now. It will be missed. :(

I as well know a pretty good website for free online manga, though; I usually read it at Mangareader.net, a website which I believe works together with Animefreak.tv. I'm not sure how many manga series Mangareader.net actually has, but it's got my series at least. :P

Onemanga at facebook got about 500.000 fans, that's huge. There's got to be something the big companies can do instead of just going after the fansubbers. How about for instance releasing translated versions of Shonen Jump on a paysite every week? The anime is free at crunchyroll (although Bleach is not available in Europe for some obscure lousy copyright reason, most likely France related), after a while and with limits if I understand the site correctly.

I have no problem buying my manga, within limits, as I'm already buying Bleach and Naruto, but there's a tremendous amount of manga out there, and the anime is simply too expensive at times to purchase.

Formatted as PDFs, there's no reason that they couldn't. I don't know how large the text shows up on an e-reader, since I don't have one, but I imagine you could show a full page of a traditional manga and still have it be legible.
